What are Kit Stone’s Dorchester fitted kitchen cabinets constructed from?
All of our fitted kitchen cabinets are an ‘in frame’, solid, hand made, hand painted, craftsman built piece of furniture. The frames are all constructed from a wood called bass wood, a member of the lime tree family, well renowned for its resistance to warping, splitting and cracking. The frames and facias are all solid wood and for the large panel and carcass work we use an 18mm birch faced poplar marine ply. This has the unique character of real wood, yet is completely stable, resistant to moisture and easily paintable. Every cabinet is constructed using mortice and tennon and dovetail joints, backed up with the best modern epoxy glues set in hydraulic presses. Our doors are all individually constructed to fit within the frame and secured with solid butt hinges, they are not mere facias. Nowhere in our kitchens do we use MDF or Chipboard and not one of our cabinets arrives with you flatpacked.
